MEXICO: CHUPACABRAS ALLEGEDLY REAPPEARS IN NUEVO LEON

Six goats were found dead last night in Rancho El Cadillo in the
municipality of Juarez, state of Nuevo Leon (Mexico).

The report came from Mr. Jesus Gel Gonzalez, the ranch's owner, at 10:03
p.m. Thursday night, when he advised the municipal police that six of his
animals had been found dead from very strange wounds to their bodies.
Police officers and Dr. Oscar Sanchez, director of the department of health
for Juarez, reported to the scene and found the carcasses of six goats
presenting very deep wounds on their necks. The injuries appeared to be
bite of some predatory animal, although what most surprised the officials
was the fact that there wasn't a drop of blood to be found in any of the
bodies.

The rancher stated having seen a creature standing 1.20 meters tall, grey
in color and with a 4-meter wingspan, whom he suspects it the culprit in
the goat slayings. He added that this is not the first time that animals
have been killed in such a way on his property, and that even some of his
dogs have disappeared.

Policemen reporting to the scene found some prints resembling large,
four-fingered claws, but were unable to determine the type of beast they
corresponded to. Dr. Sanchez said that these deaths are not normal, given
that a predator such as a puma or coyote would have ripped into the goats'
abdomen to feed on their organs. The creature responsible for the goat
deaths only sucked their blood, but what type of animal could have caused
this remains a mystery.
